Answer:

The correct answer is C.) conjugation

Explanation:

Bacteria can not reproduce sexually therefore to gain the variation in their genetics they take the help of horizontal gene transfer mechanism. These mechanisms include three processes called conjugation, transformation and transduction by which bacteria gain extra genetic material from outside.  

Conjugation is the process by which one bacteria gets the genetic material from another bacteria by making contact with each other with the help of sex pilli present on their cell surface.

These sex pilus of bacteria joins together and allow the movement of genetic material from donor to recipient bacteria. Therefore, the right answer is C.) conjugation.

Which description of synapses is not correct? which description of synapses is not correct? second messengers can activate gene
LiRa [457]
The incorrect among the choices is "<span>direct signaling involves the activation of g proteins"

This is incorrect because direct signaling does not involve the activation of g proteins rather it involves the activation of ion channels resulting to either an excitation reaction (depolarization of the membrane) or an inhibition reaction (hyperpolarization of the membrane); and this will ultimately affect the action of the organ the nerve is innervating.</span>

Korolek [52]
<span>The answer would be: host symbionts with colorful photosynthetic pigments

Coral can host symbionts that will help in their growth. There are algae that could live on the coral surface, giving them some of the energy from photosynthesis and help in calcification while the coral protects the algae. </span>The symbiosis will be formed when nearby algae attach to the corals. A stress on the coral can cause the algae to eject the algae.

(GIVING BRAINLIEST!!!)
joja [24]
D is the correct answer :).

The four inner planets have slower orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal. The four outer planets have faster orbits and spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings. The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.
